Introduction:

In addition to her activities with CMSA, Carrie assisted in the development of the Certified Case Manager credential and has served as the Chair of the Commission overseeing the process, both as the first chair, then again more recently. She has served on numerous committees and in many capacities on the Commission for more than 10 years.
Carrie founded her company, EnvisionCare, an independent case management company that provided medical case management services in all areas of medical and psychiatric specializations.
